"Damn youâ€"what do you mean by this?" â€" "With searchlight?" barked An derson. The young man turned to face this new enemy. "Well, why shouldn‘t I be on the terrace with a searchlight?" he deâ€" manded. The detective moved toward him menacingly. "Who are you?"

The detective chafed. ~ "If you‘ve finished admiring my badge," he said with heavy sarcasm, "I‘d like to know what you were doâ€" ing down on the terrace." The young man hesitated â€"shot an odd, swift glance at Dale who, ever since his abrupt entrance into the room, had been sitting rigid in her chair with her hands clenched tightly together. "I‘ve had some trouble with my car, down the road," he said finally. He glanced at Dale again. "I came to ask if I might telephone." "Did it require a searchlight to find the house?" Miss Cornelia asked suspiciously. "Look here," the young man blusâ€" tered, "why are you asking me all these questions?" He tapped his cigarette case with an irritated air. Miss ‘Cornelia ‘stepped closer him. ‘"Do you mind letting me see that flashlight?" she said. The young man gave it to her with a little, mocking bow. She turned it overâ€"examined itâ€"passed it to Anderson, who examined it also, seeming to devote particularâ€"attenâ€" tion to the lens. The young man stood puffing his cigarette a little nervously while the examination was in progress. He did not look at Dale again.

Dale rose from her chair, â€"with a hopeless little sigh. "Oh, don‘t you seeâ€"he‘s trying to protect me,‘ she said wearily. She turned to the young man. "It‘s no use, Mr. Beresford." Beresford‘s air of flippancy vanâ€" ished. Miss Cornelia moved over to her miece, protectingly. She put a hand on iDale‘s shoulder, to reassure her. But Dale was quite composed nowâ€" she had gone through so many shocks already that one more or less seemed to make very little differâ€" ence to her overwearied nerves. She turned to Anderson calmly. ‘"He doesn‘t know anything about this," she said, indicating Beresford. "He brought Mr. Fleming here in his carâ€"that‘s all." Anderson looked to Beresford for confirmation. "Is that true?" "Yes," said Beresford. He started to explain. "I got tired of waiting The detective broke in curtly. "All right." He took a step toward the alcove. "Now, Doctor." He nodded at the huddle beneath the raincoat. Beresâ€" ford followed his glanceâ€"and saw the ominous heap for the first time. "What‘s that?" he said tensely. No one answered him. The Doctor was already on his knees beside the body, drawing the raincoat â€"gently aside. Beresford stared at the shape thus revealed with.frightened eyes. The color left his face. "That‘s notâ€"Dick Flemingtonâ€"is it?" he said thickly. Anderson slowly nodded his head. Beresford seemed unable to believe his eyes. Anderson "Nowâ€"what‘s your" name*?" he "If you‘ve looked over the ‘s your business?" went on do you earn your livâ€" the flash upon her child.

His right hand fluttered swiftly over Fleming‘s still, clenched fistâ€"extracted from it a torn corner of paper. . ... 4 Still Beresford did not seem to be able to take in what had happened. He took another step toward the "Do you mean to say that Dick Flemingâ€"â€""he began. _ Anderson silenced him with an uplifted hand. "What you got there, Doctor?" he said in a still voice. ‘ The Doctor, still on his knees beâ€" side the corpse, lifted his head. "What do you mean?" ‘"You took something, just then, out of Fleming‘s hand," said the deâ€" tective. * "I took nothing out of his hand," said the Doctor firmly. Anderson‘s manner grew perempâ€" tory. "I warn you not to obstruct the course of justice‘" he said, forcibly. Give it here!" The Doctor rose, slowly, dusting of his knees. His eyes tried to meet Anderson‘s and failed. He proâ€" duced a torm corner of blueâ€"print. ‘‘Why, it‘s only a scrap of paperâ€" nothing at all," he said, evasively. ly "Scraps of paper are sometimes very important," he said, with a side glance at Dale. ® Beresford approached the two, angrily. "Look here!" he burst out, "I‘ve got a right to know about this thing. 1 brought Fleming over hereâ€"and I want to know what happened to him "You don‘t have to be a mindâ€" reader to know that!" moaned Lizzie, overcome. As usual, her comment went unâ€" answered. Beresford . persisted in his question. & ‘"Who killed him? That‘s what 1 want to know!" he continued, nervâ€" ously puffing his cigarette. "Well, you‘re not alone in that," said Anderson, in his grimly humorâ€" ous vein. The Doctor motioned nervously to them both. "As the coronerâ€"if Mr. Anderson is satisfiedâ€"I sugest that the body be taken where I can make a thorâ€" ough examination,," he said haltingâ€" ly. ‘Once more Anderson bent over the shell that had been Richard Flemâ€" ing. He turned the body halfâ€"overâ€" let it sink back on its face. For a moment he glanced at the corner of the blueâ€"print in his handâ€"than at the Doctor. Then he stood aside. "All right," he said laconically. So Richard Fleming left the room where he had been struck so sudâ€" denly and strangelyâ€"borne out by Beresford, the Doctor and Jack Bailey.

A Her fingers fumbled at the bosom of her dressâ€"she took out the pre clous, dangerous fragment of blueâ€" print that Anderson must not find in her possessionâ€"but where to hide it, before her chance had passed? Her eyes fell on the bread roll from the detective‘s supperâ€"tray, that had fallen to the floor when Lizzsie had seen her gleaming eye on the stairs and had lain there unnoticed ever ilillOO. She bent over swiftly and seâ€" creted the tantalizing scrap of blue _ugoyulg.n-yboy'fllboa big executive some day?" paper in the body of the roll, smoothing the crust back above it with trembling fingers. Then she replaced the roll where it had fallen originally, and straightened up just as Billy and the detective both re turned. Billy went immediately to the tray, picked"it up, and started to go out again. Then he noticed the roll on the floor, stooped for it and re placed it upon the tray. He ‘looked at Miss Cornella for instructions. "Take that tray out to the diningâ€" room," she said mechanically. But Anderson‘s attention had already been drawn to the tiny incident. "Waitâ€"I‘ll look at that tray," he said briskly. Dale, her heart in her mouth, watched him examine the knives, the plates, even shake out the napkin to see that nothing was hidden in its folds. At last he seemâ€" ' gd satisfied. Pirst Splusterâ€"Is it true that you| ~_ ing Enough Water. "All rightâ€"take it away," he comâ€" manded. Billy nodded, and vanished toward the diningâ€"room with tray and roll. Dale breathed again. The sight of the tray had made Miss Cornelia‘s thoughts return to practical affairs. "Lizzle," she commanded now, "go out in the kitchen and make some coffee. I‘m sure we all need it," she sighed. Lizzsie brizzled at once. "Go out in that kitchen alone?" "Billy‘s there," said Miss Cornelia wearily. The thought of Billy seemed to bring little solace to Lizsie‘s heart. "What steps would you take if u saw a dangerous lion on the ‘"That Jap and his Jewyâ€"Jitsu," she muttered viciously. "One twist and I‘d folded up like a pretzel!" But Miss Cornelia‘s maner was imâ€" perativeâ€"and Lizzie slowly dragged herself kitchenward, yawning and promising the saints repentance of every sin shé had or had not comâ€" mitted if she were allowed to get there without something grabbing at her ankles in the dark corner of the hall. When the door lad shut behind her, Anderson turned to Dale, the cormer of blueâ€"print which he had taken from the Doctor in his hand.
